NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1070: Benefactor?
"Sir, someone outside claims to be an old acquaintance of yours and wishes to see you!"
Qin Wentian heard the guard's report and found it amusing.
How could he have old acquaintances in the Qianyuan Realm?
The downside of fame is that people randomly claim connections.
"Just send them away."
Qin Wentian waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.
Returning to his interrupted thoughts, Qin Wentian continued pondering.
Once the three-year deadline is up, he can perfectly complete the task and return to the main world.
As for Chen Yu, he still hasn't heard any news about him; surely he couldn't fulfill the task in time.
Or perhaps Chen Yu has already met a tragic fate in this world due to some accident.
Just as he thought of this.
"Senior Brother Qin, it's Chen Yu!"
The exceedingly loud voice echoed in all directions.
Qin Wentian's thoughts were interrupted again, showing a look of astonishment.
"It's Chen Yu!"
His previous good mood vanished instantly.
It's obvious that Chen Yu came seeking help.
After hesitating for a few moments, Qin Wentian went out.
He didn't dislike Chen Yu; he just wanted to prove himself superior.
Now that Chen Yu is asking for help, isn't it the perfect opportunity to prove his excellence?
Besides, they're from the same sect, rejecting aid would be inappropriate.
"Let them come in."
Qin Wentian's voice came out.
Soon, led by the guard, Chen Yu, Lin Yuxuan, and Lin Tianfeng arrived.
"Lin Yuxuan? This guy really managed to deceive her, huh, relying on a woman, what skill is that."
Upon seeing this, Qin Wentian thought inwardly.
The Master assigned high-difficulty tasks to both him and Chen Yu; Chen Yu's surprise helper is met with Qin Wentian's disdain.
Seeing Qin Wentian's stern face, Chen Yu knew he didn't appear pleased to see him.
"Senior Brother Qin, nice to see you well."
He greeted nonchalantly.
"Junior Brother Chen, for over a year, this is the first news I've heard of you, how's the task given by the Master progressing?"
Qin Wentian asked casually.
"He didn't lie to me; this task is indeed arranged by the Sky Martial Sect Master."
Listening to these words, Lin Yuxuan trusted Chen Yu even more.
"About half."
Chen Yu thought briefly and gave an answer.
Qin Wentian smirked disdainfully, thinking Chen Yu was certainly lying, not wanting to appear too incompetent in front of him.
If Chen Yu truly completed half of the task's objective, how could he remain so unrecognized?
To this, Qin Wentian didn't bother to expose.
"What brings you to seek me, Junior Brother?"
Qin Wentian showed a faint smile.
"Mainly for the Five Saint Generals election half a month later; we want to join the fun, it doesn't matter if we don't succeed."
Chen Yu plainly stated his purpose.
"Given your current situation, the hope of competing for the Five Saint Generals is zero. The primary reason being, your backgrounds are completely blank; the Human Race won't possibly entrust such important positions to those with unclear origins."
"Therefore, you wish to use me to appear in front of the world, trying to mitigate this issue."
Qin Wentian's mind was clear, roughly guessing Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan's intention.
If discussing real skills, Lin Yuxuan could definitely assume the position of a Saint General, and Chen Yu also had considerable hope.
But the selection of Saint Generals surely isn't based solely on strength but also requires prestige to command hundreds of thousands of troops, and wisdom to comprehend military tactics.
"I also plan to compete for the Five Saint Generals, thereby we become rivals."
"Yet I will still assist you."
Qin Wentian confidently and generously expressed.
He eradicated others' doubts about his background completely over the year.
And he possessed extraordinary talent, defeating numerous Dragon Clan powerhouses; his fame spread wide, hailed as the millennium's greatest genius in the Qianyuan Realm.
Qin Wentian had great hope to become one of the Five Saint Generals.
As for Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan, due to the brief period, doubts about their backgrounds couldn't be entirely eliminated, making their chances of becoming Saint Generals nearly impossible.
Qin Wentian was looking forward to the scene where he becomes a Saint General and Chen Yu is not elected.
After a few chats, the attendants arranged accommodation for Chen Yu and the others.
"Qin Wentian seems not to favor you much."
Lin Yuxuan communicated telepathically.
Chen Yu and Qin Wentian were fellow apprentices but appeared not to be on good terms.
"He's just being picky; at least he doesn't harbor any hostility towards me."
Qin Wentian's dissatisfaction with Chen Yu primarily stemmed from the initial newcomer assessment, where Chen Yu deprived him of the first place.
Chen Yu didn't expect the other to hold a grudge over being second to him.
Returning to the residence.
Chen Yu took out the appropriate medicinal ingredients to prepare the second batch of Golden Spirit Liquid for cultivating the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw.
Feeling the changes in the White Tiger Sacred Claw, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The potency of the Golden Spirit Liquid has weakened slightly again."
But for now, the effect is still good.
Besides, he still has ingredients to prepare a third batch of Golden Spirit Liquid.
Future cultivation awaited gathering other materials after returning to the main world.
Of course, the Qianyuan Realm isn't bad, with the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surpassing that of the Great Yu Realm, perhaps excellent materials could be gathered.
The Four Symbols Divine Body and Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique progress steadily and surely.
Occasionally, Chen Yu, Lin Yuxuan, Lin Tianfeng, alongside Qin Wentian, appeared in front of others.
Gradually, they gained an identity as fellow Daoist brothers of Qin Wentian, the mysterious cultivator.
"Qin Wentian's talent is so extraordinary, it seems his junior brothers are not simple either."
"Especially that senior sister of Qin Wentian, she is truly beautiful. I've never seen such a lovely lady."
Every time they go out, they attract attention and spark discussions.
Time passed, and half a month went by.
On this day.
The vast forces of the Human Race gathered at the Qianyuan Realm Human Race Alliance, signaling the start of an unprecedented grand event.
The election of the Five Sacred Generals greatly impacts the entire Human Race's power dynamics and security, garnering much attention, with various forces attending.
In the spacious hall, crowds thronged, and powerful figures gathered like clouds. Chen Yu felt the aura of the Xuanming Realm.
"Young friend Qin, you're here."
"It's been months, Brother Qin, your power seems to have improved again. In this election for the Five Sacred Generals, you will surely have a place."
"With your talent, you are destined to become an Emperor Xuanming in the future."
Qin Wentian's arrival brought greetings from many strong figures of the Human Race.
Chen Yu and Lin Tianfeng seemed to be sidelined, but someone as stunning as Lin Yuxuan naturally received many greetings from young heroes.
"Qin Wentian seems to have established himself well here."
Only then did Chen Yu sense Qin Wentian's influence.
Based on his judgment, it was very likely that the other party would become one of the Five Sacred Generals.
"Junior Brother Chen, I've already helped you, but the time was short, and the effect minimal. Don't be disheartened if you don't get elected."
Qin Wentian smiled broadly.
In the main world, he lost to Chen Yu everywhere, but in the Qianyuan Realm, everything had reversed.
Chen Yu didn't mind much; he wanted the title of Saint General mainly to facilitate himself, and secondly to complete highly challenging tasks.
Even if he couldn't become a Saint General, failing in this election left a deep impression and obtaining other important positions shouldn't be an issue.
Seeing Chen Yu silent, Qin Wentian's heart was filled with more joy.
He was finally going to win against Chen Yu once.
"Brother Chen, is that you?"
Suddenly, a pure girl appeared ahead, with delicate eyebrows and shining teeth, strikingly beautiful.
"Huh? You know Chen Yu?"
Qin Wentian was quite surprised.
"So it's Miss Miao Shui'er."
Chen Yu glanced at the girl.
Back when he first landed at the Dragon Clan's hunting grounds, he encountered a human man and woman, and this girl, "Miao Shui'er," was one of them; the other, Senior Brother Liu, had long perished.
"Brother Chen, you escaped the Dragon Clan's pursuit? Why didn't you inform me when you returned to your clan?"
"The lifesaving grace from that day, I've always remembered, thinking you had met a tragic end..."
Miao Shui'er was excited, asking numerous questions in succession, then expressing gratitude.
Beside her, Qin Wentian had a strange expression, sensing that Chen Yu indeed had conflicts with the Dragon Clan.
However, the other party's achievements definitely couldn't match his own.
His current fame was built on slaying Dragons.
"Haha, although I saved you back then, I didn't know your background..."
Chen Yu spoke the truth.
"Granddaughter, who is this young man?"
An elder in white slowly approached, slightly sizing up Chen Yu.
With his mid-stage Condensed Star Realm cultivation, he still couldn't see through Chen Yu.
He was somewhat intrigued that his granddaughter knew such a young man.
"Elder Miao."
Qin Wentian greeted the elder in white.
The other party was the Great Elder of "Xuanyu Pavilion," renowned back in the day, but even now, his influence wasn't any less than that of this young genius.
"Grandpa, he is my savior."
Miao Shui'er immediately introduced him.
"You... are the one who saved Shui'er?"
The elder in white's expression changed slightly.
After all, this person saved his granddaughter's life; moreover, as Miao Shui'er mentioned, Chen Yu had slain many Dragons back then, forcing the Dragon Clan to release all humans from the hunting grounds.
This kind of courage, this kind of righteousness, made the elder in white admire deeply: "Your courage is astonishing, I am impressed."
Qin Wentian froze for a moment, feeling something was off.
This Xuanyu Pavilion treated Chen Yu even more warmly than himself, no, they completely sidelined him.
"I didn't expect you to escape alive; those beasts must have been furious. If you ever need anything, I would spare no effort to help."
The elder in white laughed heartily.
While Chen Yu and the elder in white were enjoying a pleasant conversation, suddenly a shocked voice sounded from the side: "Are you not... the one who saved me back then?"
A middle-aged woman, with beautiful eyes wide open and delicate lips slightly parted, looked extremely surprised.
"Savior, I never thought I'd see you again; the grace of that day, I am at a loss on how to repay."
The middle-aged woman was full of gratitude.
"Liu Shu, who is this person?"
A burly man with a strong build walked over to the middle-aged woman and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Sect Master Xia, it's been a while."
Qin Wentian greeted the burly man.
Though the "Wind Spirit Sect" wasn't considered a top-tier force, the burly man, as the sect master, with his late-stage Condensed Star Realm cultivation, was indeed a prominent figure.
As for that middle-aged woman, she seemed to be the Daoist couple of the Wind Spirit Sect Master.
But the Wind Spirit Sect Master only exchanged a brief greeting with Qin Wentian before engaging gratefully in conversation with Chen Yu.
"So it was you who saved Liu Shu. Alas, I was ashamed, for I learned that Liu Shu was captured by the Dragon Clan, and several times wanted to charge into the Dragon Clan..."
Qin Wentian's face turned grim.
It seemed that Chen Yu hadn't been idle before; the other party knew quite a few Human Race figures in the Qianyuan Realm.
"He could easily turn to these people for help, so why come to me? Did he deliberately appear in front of me, wanting to compete to see who would win the position of the Five Sacred Generals?"
Qin Wentian felt as if he'd been played by Chen Yu.
"Since that's the case, let's see who will emerge victorious!"
Qin Wentian's expression turned firm, feeling that Chen Yu, with just this bit of connections, absolutely couldn't surpass him!
